Pakistan vs Australia | 1st Test Match | Ground: Lord’s Cricket Ground | Match Dates: 13th to 17th July 2010 | Watch Live Telecast of the Match from 1100 hours GMT (ab out 4:30 pm in India/Pakistan)

The first ever neutral Test match at the Lord’s cricket ground has just begun. With teams no longer to willing to risk their safety and play in Pakistan, it has now become de rigeur for Pakistan to host its matches in borrowed homes out of its own country.

Pakistan won the toss and elected to make first use of the ball on a wicket which looks will offer assistance to the pace bowlers early on, and the decision seemed to have been correct with Australia losing an early wicket. As I write, the score reads 18/1. Mohammed Aamer accounted for opener Simon Katich, clean bowled.

In the two T20 games in the lead up to the series, Pakistan showed that it was a much better team than the Aussies in the shortest version of cricket. Can they repeat their performance in the longer format? From the initial look of it, it appears to be set to be a gruelling battle. So don’t miss the live cricket streaming of this match, wherever you may be.
